Also known as synaptopodin 2, SYISL

Myopodin protein, also called Synaptopodin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYNPO2 gene. Myopodin is expressed in cardiac, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle, and localizes to Z-disc structures.

Gene data

SYNPO2
Name
synaptopodin 2
Type
protein-coding

Enables alpha-actinin binding activity and filamin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of actin filament bundle assembly; positive regulation of cell migration; and regulation of Rho-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Located in several cellular components, including Z disc; focal adhesion; and stress fiber. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
